Just thought this might be an interesting one.
Have a bit of a session with your mates and get to some food stuck inbetween your teeth do you try and find a tooth pick or just use the stylus?
Is there some safety concerns here?

You'd go in public with the PSP???
Top Score, PS games are crap! PSP is not gonna topple the Ipod so MP3 is pointless, a tiny movie screen will not take off and the games are PS2 games... they aren't handheld games.
You know nothing about the handheld market, you know nothing about anything!
The DS will be released but give it 2 years and Nintendo will launch the next Gameboy, the proper successor to the DS. At that point the PSP needs to have destroyed the GBA and the DS and hope to survive Nintendo's next entry.
It won't work. Sony are doomed in this department. They even released only a handful of consoles in Japan because they didn't feel it would sell well and you know what? It didn't!!!
Even Microsoft laughed the PSP off!
It is a silly idea selling handheld games consoles to adults who are concerned about "image" which is what the PS2 sold. Would you see 20 year olds walk around with a teddy bear, even a cool looking teddy bear??? No exactly. PSP may look cool but so does the GBA SP and that still mainly sells to kids.
Sony do not have Final Fantasy exclusive, they do not have GTA exclusive... they don't have many things exclusive at all! Sony think they'll defeat the handheld system shifter Pokemon??? No they don't, they wouldn't dream of it. Nintendo are supporting the system fully and even RARE are rumoured to be supporting the console.
Sure the graphics don't look as good but then that doesn't mean a thing. PS2's graphics aren't as good as Gamecube's, the PS1's weren't as good as the N64's, the GBA's weren't as good as Nokia's. Nintendo are releasing an original and clever handheld device, a nice new gadget so to speak, that could REALLY take off and grab the consumers imagination.
It might not. It doesn't matter, it'll compete with the PSP, make it hard for the PSP, the GBA will do the same by being that VERY cheap alternative... and then the next GB will be released.
Game over.

Rather have a massive screen that I can actually see than 2 small poor quality screens that I can't.
Rather have a media that I could watch movies if I wanted rather than a cartridge you can't.
Rather have amazing graphics than graphics that are comparable to N64 which were rubbish anyway.
Rather have games that have depth, with hours of content stored on the media.
Rather walk around playing a cool quality product rather than a toy.
Rather play GT4 than Mario 64
Rather been seen in public with a PSP than a DS afterall Sony has aimed this handheld at the 18 to 34 demographic, not that this is not gonna stop the younger ones wanting one.
Rather Play MP3's on my PSP.
Rather have a device that I can view photo's if I want.
Rather more advantage than the DS.

Thats not an original GameBoy. The first model had a white and grey case, black & white screen, and had red A+Bbuttons, with grey directional buttons. The rev version had the color case (but still a black & white screen), and were a bit smaller.

The original Gameboy was seriously rubbish, the screen was difficult to see, it was big and chunky, it took 4 AA's.
But I got one and so did many others because they were so fun to have.

Hardly moved on since the original? *Takes out his original GameBoy ('tis yellow by the way)*
You know I never noticed my original Gameboy had two backlit colour screens, was touch controlled, has shoulder buttons, can be voice controlled, allows for wireless play and gives better than N64 quality graphics.
Thankyou for pointing that out to me.

Thankyou for pointing that out to me.

They have progressed, you can't of played any of them.
Its your arguements that are not progressing but still you continue to use them.

Some of the best games of all time have been on the Gameboy. What exactly is your point?
Never heard of utility sockets then Duh!
